My husband came home from work with this “mind game”. There always seems to be some sort of ‘competition’ between the two of us, and he is floating on cloud nine, because so far I only have 7 of them. The answers I do know as of this moment, are for d, e, h, i, o, p, and v. Can you help me out? I appreciate any assistance you may have!
